WordPress upgrade imminent

It’s late summer (or late winter in the SH) so it must be time to upgrade the blog to the latest and greatest WordPress edition. (why do I offer to do this? I must be mad)

Climate Audit is current on a lowly version 2.2.1 and the latest version is 2.6.1

Much to my surprise, WP upgraded without too much fuss on the test system, despite the re-engineering that has gone on since the last upgrade. Even the Tiga theme continued to work (wonders will never cease).

So in the next hour or so (after I’ve run a full backup), the blog will upgrade. During this process, things will appear to not work, but don’t worry – just come back in 30 minutes.

For those desperate to type something, the Climate Audit Forum is available and won’t be affected.

Update #2: We are running on a new theme, “Atahualpa” by BytesForAll. Thanks to BFA for creating the theme, and helping us with tweaks to solve several display issues. (The previous “tiga” theme crashes CA, so it’s gone.)

Please comment if familiar elements are missing, or if you find bugs or browser incompatibilities in the new theme.

Update #3: There’s a handy new feature at CA. To link your comment to a previous comment in the thread, just click on the link under the comment number of interest. It says “reply and paste link” and will do just that: it pastes a properly formatted link to that comment, into your comment. You can actually paste as many links as you need. The link will survive any rearrangements and movements of comments, which is handy because spam and other snipped comments are regularly removed. Try it! (Sep 2: until now it worked intermittently. Fixed.)

I think what you mean is comment numbering. As far as posts themselves, I see no author noted anymore. Also missing, the standard shortcuts for comment formatting?BoldStrike

etc

Thanks – I like the new look, but also agree the standard comment formatting is a bit small on the font. My wife works for an eye health clinic and (anecdotally), computers are impairing vision at an alarming clip via eye strain.

Its generally faily neat but the font seems a bit small and also the ‘Headlines’ appear much paler as are the posts themselves-a little like when I’m running out of ink and am reluctant to fork out £20 for a new cartridge!

John — in the design->theme area, just click on the tiga theme thumbnail. In current WP, that gives you a live preview. I don’t see anything amiss. What issue do you see? I don’t want to kill CA for everybody by activating it if there really is a problem :)

That was a bit exciting. There’s been a longstanding bug that occasionally causes the site to crash. I was hoping the new version would be better. Apparently, the crash is not yet fixed… readers’ patience mucho appreciated.

The site has crashed twice in the last hour while running the familiar Tiga theme. Sorry folks, I’m going to switch temporarily to the other theme to see if that helps. I know things are a bit out of place but we can’t have crashes every few minutes.

AARghh!! I see Sinan Unur has actually posted his image. I hope we’re not all expected to do this? If so, can you gather together a gallery of good looking people so I can make my selection first? Could be a useful source of income for CA…

personally I like the current theme over Tiga, it appears more professional to me, and I like that the sidebars are reduced in luminance, thus allowing the main body column to stand out, making for easier reading.

But my Firefox 2.0.0.16 crashed here while reading a thread but the changeover happened during that time so maybe that’s why. And when I was trying to type in the Reply box on a long thread (Koutsoyiannis) just a few minutes ago there was a delay of almost 2 seconds between keystroke and its appearance in the box. I didn’t have that problem before.

I like the “recent posts” box which wasn’t there before. I sort of miss the “home” in the middle between the previous and next posts, but since CA is my “home” page all I have to do is press the “home” button on the browser anyway.

A new version of the theme “Atahualpa” is available. Some of the changes you made here can be done through the options pages now.

The IE6 dropping sidebars issue mentioned above is fixed via a min-width setting option, and btw, this currently happens if an image is too wide for the middle column, IE6 will drop, the others will overlap, its due to the fluid AND table-free layout that is being used here (and it’s source ordered, too).

Also, in 2.2 the code has been cleaned up considerably, and now you can change the font size on the options page, too. I will gladly help with customization if you get stuck, post on my blog and I’ll post back the edits you need to make incl. line numbers and everything.

Thanks for the suggestions and hints.
The noted Tiga update was done; it solved a bad query but the entire site still crashed.
The updated atahualpa helps, although edits were still needed. BytesForAll, THANK YOU for your great work to develop this theme!
The two blogroll links have been repaired. Thanks.

Questions for readers:
* IE users – does the updated theme fix your image display issues??
* Is the font size ok now? It is actually the same font as before the upgrade, and a tiny bit bigger. However, it is a “flex size” font. IE users in particular might have trouble if we don’t have all the right hacks in place.

Font size is OK, but there are no links on the home page though the links show up on the comment page. Is this deliberate?

The comment box works as I assume it was designed to work and does not resize and line wrap in a very obscure manner the way it used to making some of my previous comments difficult to read – of course, I assume full responsibility for their actual content ;).

I have IE7. When I first enter CA, the left and right panel text is way down the screen (3/4). However, if I click on the comments, they appear correctly at the top. I would love to see what kind of software configuration testing was performed — if at all. Good luck, John.

mbabbitt — there’s a known issue in IE that the sidebars are only correct if your browser is maximized. Anything less than full screen and they pop down below. I too am surprised this issue exists on what is apparently one of the more popular WP themes.

FWIW, ClimateAudit is one of the more heavily used blogs around; our user base puts the system through its paces rather nicely!

Thanks for tip, unfortunately I think I have become too old to learn another math-text typing routine. To give you an idea, I typed my first paper with an IBM Selectric using the math and Greek typing balls. This was great stuff in the 60s because then everybody — well at least everybody who could borrow a Selectric — could type math and not have to use a professional typesetter for working papers. The journals still used the pros.

But I will go look for a quick read on Latex next time I try to write more than an equation or two.

It worked fine before the upgrade so presumably it is a feature of the upgrade rather than my monitor? I obviously don’t want to buy a new monitor because of the scarce resources that will use and the subsequent contribution to damgerous levels of CO2…

I have the same problem as Tony Brown concerning the graphics now overlaying the right-hand sidebar. No problem prior to upgrade.
I always run with 1024×768 screen resolution. Changing to 1152×864 resolution fixes it, of course that reduces all font sizes.

Both sidebars are definitely wider than they used to be. Maybe their width can be reduced?

I have IE6. The links appear at the bottom of the home page but in the right position when I click to add comments. If by maximized you mean the screen size – it is. Switching screen resolutions has no effect on my Compaq 6710b

Just tried CA at work where we are on IE 6 (Yes!)and got the same behavior as on IE 7 at home: left and right panel text/graphics appears 3/4 the way down page unless I click the Comments button; then they appear correctly.

This should serve as a good reminder to all of us that a popular blog like this does not run itself. How about a round of donations? Maybe the Steve and the hard working contributors to this blog can have a dinner on us if they end in close geographical proximity :-)

– The left sidebar is being dropped by the categories drop down menu.
– The right sidebar is being dropped by the long URL in the script at the bottom of this post http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3405

Could you please try this:

At the very bottom of style.php, add the following

body { word-wrap: break-word;}
select { font-size: 70%; }

to the “if lte IE6″ section, and if people are still seeing issues even with IE7, or to be sure, change the

[if lte IE 6]

statement at around line 160 to

[if lte IE 7]

The “break-word” will force IE6 to break up unbreakable space-less URLs like the one at http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3405. If someone does copy & paste the script, the line breaks of the copied code will be in order. So I see no downside here. Firefox will break long lines too, just a little nicer.

The other rule will cause IE6 & 7 to make the font in the drop down list smaller.

The min width setting of 990 that you have now is good. If the above doesn’t help you might have to make the sidebars a little bit wider, too, i.e. 13-13.5em for the left and 14-14.5 for the right sidebar.

If all this doesn’t help there has to be more content somewhere that doesn’t fit into one of the columns (left, middle or right).

BTW: The fact that IE6 drops when the content doesn’t fit is not caused by me. It is due to the type of Layout technique being used here. It is fluid, table-free, source ordered (the content comes before the sidebars which may or may not help with google rankings), and you would be able to give the sidebars colors, and they would fill the whole column from top to bottom, without the help of a background image. This type of layout is sometimes referred to as the “Holy Grail” even though it may not look so holy right now.

BUT, in the past, I have had big problems uploading images. I have no web site so I use web hosting. Different web hosts provide URLs with occasionally different characters at start and finish, some of them need editing. Then when you hit PREVIEW on WordPress, it does not always show the image – that can appear some time later. So you fly blind.

Can you pls attach in the sidebars an idiot-proof instruction set with recommended web host so that we can save bandwidth loading images like graphs? Likewise if I wish to web host a paper of n x 100 pages and give a URL for it. Elementary, but frustrating. Need help in old age. Geoff.

My browser is Opera 9.52. With the prior theme I had no problems at all.

Before this latest coding change I only had a problem with the graphics overlaying the right sidebar. Now in addition to that problem the sidebars have been moved to below the text area.

Whatever change was made seems to have been browser specific. I really don’t want to have to change browsers in order to view this site.

Maybe a little information will help.
In Opera the comment area width runs from column 192 to 803 with the two sidebars taking up the rest of my 1024×768 screen.
In IE7 the sidebar widths are narrower and the Categories dropdown box extends into the comment area while in Opera it doesn’t. It doesn’t seem right that any part of the dropdown box should ever extend into the comment area. I hope a remedy can be found.

I am preparing a final fix, incl. img resizing, force wrap & select resizing for IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera & Safari. Only thing missing so far is force wrap on Safari, everything else seems to work. I am using sample content from Climate Audit, the long URL from that script, the 663 px wide monthtable.gif, and the longest Category Name “Disclosure and Diligence”. I should be done soon and will post here.

Status report:
I have Vista on my home Desktop with IE7 and last night the CA page loaded fine with the left and right panels showing up as required. On XP/IE7 at home and XP/IE6 at work, I still get the initial page left/right panel pushed way down the page — except if I open the full page with comments — then all is well. Hope this feedback helps you.

It all looks good to me, even the graphs are now behaving themselves and not overlapping the sides any more. My thanks to all those involved in the upgrade.

I’m inclined to agree with a previous comment that we all take CA for granted so I for one will be making a small donation and hope others will do the same if they feel able to do so. Its a great site!

I posted the above twice but the first, longer one, was marked as spam. Please discard the first one, admin.

Trying again: There are still some issues, dropping and overflowing but the above patch should them. I tested with content from this blog, and on IE6, IE7, Safari, Firefox and Opera. The pages were I still see isues are for instance, http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3406 (IE6 drops) and http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3415 (IE6 and Opera drop). Also, the other browser still overlap.

The fix above should be added to the end of style.php, and the existing if “lte IE6 … endif” section at the bottom of style.php should be removed.

Select Dropdown:
IE6 doesn’t drop anymore. The others don’t overflow anymore.
IE6 & IE7: List fits right in but won’t expand its width when opened, which would be even better
Firefox, Opera and Safari: Fits and expands its width when opened

MrPete, the above word-wrap doesn’t break anything but fixes a lot of things if applied as suggested, at least on my extensive testing here. Applying it on body as per my first suggestion may have been the cause for the issues you saw.

* Please DO note: AFAIK, if you use IE, and if you try to shrink your browser to less than 1024 wide, you very well may see the side columns “drop down” to the bottom. There’s not a lot we can do about that. This site is designed for 1024 width.

Looks good in IE7. Lousy in Firefox.
In Firefox 3.01, the left column does not show up until below the “submit comment” in the middle column.
On the right, the “Search” does not start until after the “Archives” on the left.

MrPete at 100
Display Resolution does not seem to make any difference. To verify, I have the same issue at 800×600.
Also changing from 125% to 100% fonts makes no difference either.
Happy hunting.
Recommend exploring the column or table type settings.
It looks like a difference on how one column to the next is displayed.

Gary A. in 107 commented on reducing the left and right column widths. I modified the source as he suggested and that takes care of the problem of the sidebars being placed at the bottom by my Opera browser.

Can you modify the current code without breaking the other browser types?

Here’s another test image… it is at least of weather, although neither seasonal nor particularly related to warming…

I let the Quicktags buttons do most of the formatting work, and Flickr hosts the image itself. Interestingly, the Img quicktag button prompted for both an URL and ALT text. If the alt text is left in the resulting IMG tag, then the preview below the edit box gets a really screwball IMG tag that can’t resolve to a real image. I removed the alt attribute and all spaces after the trailing quote and the preview works again. Now let’s see if it shows in the post…

In other news… firefox 3.0.1 handles this theme pretty nicely at least for me.

Very odd… the entire img tag is missing from the comment, but the link that surrounded it is still there in the rendered HTML. Since it is a good idea for the quicktags toolbar to match the actual permitted features, I’d lobby for either fixing the img tag or removing it from the bar. Obviously, I think fixing the img tag is the preferred answer…

Re: #114 MrPete… I’ll repeat what I did the first time, using (I think) the same picture. It is hosted at Flickr, and I used both the Img and Link buttons (in that order) to attempt to make the picture link to its page at Flickr. Only the <a> tag survived in the submitted comment. Aside from quirks caused by smart quotes, the live preview was fine and included both the photo and the link to its page as expected.

"Smart Quotes" should just get tossed out the window, IMHO. (And probably the text-to-smiley thing as well since it messes with parenthetical remarks that end with punctuation or the digit eight.) At the moment, some quirk of the live preview script causes the whole preview body to evaporate if I type any double-quote characters in the running text, like the ones I faked with entity references at the start of this paragraph.

Here is the photo, wrapped in a link, and produced by the Img and Link buttons:

When I finished with the Img button, it pasted in the expected img tag, and the live preview lost its body again. When I used the Link button to wrap it in an anchor tag, the preview shows the image as the entire body of the message, but it somehow has put all of the preceding text into the preview’s copy of the href attribute of the anchor. That bit of behavior is apparently caused by starting this post by using the paste link button to get the link to your comment. Having an earlier anchor seems to confuse the preview script and cause it to guess wrong as it rewrites the comment text into the page body.

I wonder if the preview works right for a post with more than one link in it.

I’ll ask rhetorically: wouldn’t a preview button that opens a pop-up window on demand or a two-stage submission where the submit button really shows a message preview and requires a second confirm be better than client-side scripting that has to work in every browser?

Don’t take the whining the wrong way… we all appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining this site!

David Hagen, Gary A, Bob Koss – can you capture a screen (prtscrn, then open mspaint and paste, then save as jpg) to illustrate? This clearly does not happen for everyone who uses the same browser you do. I suspect something else is happening.

It is confusing that shrinking the side bars would help. The “normal” push-down issue is that something doesn’t fit within the given width of the sidebar. Thus, making the side bars narrower should make it worse.

The first try above (Test) was using the Image tag and URL copied from a text file of a post in the Dogulass thread, which did not have the Alt clause (could not get that to work even back then). The image showed in preview just fine. The second post was using the quicktags and the same URL, but included the Alt clause. The preview showed only the missing image symbol. In both cases, the html I’m seeing here shows no sign of the image tag or URL.

Just to round this out, here is an attempt using the quicktags and removing the Alt clause afterward:

The image is now showing in preview.
Once again, using the quicktags and leaving the Alt clause in:

Preview shows the image.
Note: the image only shows in preview if there is no space between the URL trailing quote mark and the slash. Removing the trailing space makes no difference if the Alt clause is used. The same is found using Safari.

OK, I think the preview is fixed. The preview code was trying to create fancy quotes (any time there was a space before or after a quote character.) I’m surprised this is in a popular released plugin. Well, CA puts everything through its paces, even our tools :)

Hey guys, are you playing mind games with me? Now the home page looks great…but the comment page has the links, etc., towards the bottom of the page as per the previous home page!!
The text on this comment page is also tiny — less that 7pt.

It is cute how the tip jar is by the comment box. That is a smart piece of marketing!!

For those who miss some of the “contrasty” feel of the old theme, I’ve added a bit of a 3D effect to comment headers. Personally, I’m ambivalent about it. Could keep, make a bit thinner, or get rid of it.

I think JohnA is coloring up the page a bit as well.

And now we have a nice “paste link” feature to permanently connect comments together.

With that, I’m outtahere for a while. Those who still see “dropped” side bars, please capture a screen. Most people seem to have no trouble any more on a wide variety of browsers. If you are having trouble, are you doing anything “non standard”, e.g. a special plugin or settings?

Thanks for everyone’s help shaking this new theme out. I think we’re closing in on something we can all live with.

Re: “#151
Adding the quotes doesn’t work for IE6 – everything after the paste link is shown in preview, but it is shown as a link (to the paste link comment).
Also, only the first quote is needed in Safari (or IE) to get the preview to show.

The preview pane and links is seriously broken. You can’t put a second link in a post without everything disappearing. The cause seems to have something to do with quotation marks. I can’t put a quotation mark in the post without losing the text. Firefox 3.01, WinXP Pro SP3.

The upgrade appeared to work okay until I upgraded from 2.x to Firefox 3. Now I’m seeing what Gary A. in 152 posts. The two side columns are appearing sequentially, after the center column (frame?). The window I am typing in is pretty weird, too, being just under 2″ wide, and not filling the width of the current column (frame).

It is not so much shrinking the sidebars. It is the relationship between your margins and the width. If I change the left and right margins to be -13 and -14 (with width left at 12.5 and 13.5) that fixes the issue also.

It seems like I am checking only after problems are fixed. I have not encountered any layout issues (except for not being able to posted images for a while, but it looks like you guys have taken care of that).

I am getting used to the new theme. I especially appreciate the “paste link” tool.

The browsershots service is great. It quickly shows some interesting things:

– The FF 3.0.1 shot is fine… except missing the “best site” graphic. Strange.
– The Opera 9.52 shots do not just have “drop down” sidebars. The sidebars are missing just about everything! I would suggest that this design is (at present) not particularly compatible with Opera.

Finally, the text-size based IE issues are most likely related to a subtle word-wrap effect. Over lunch I’ll pull in some of the fixes I’ve used over the years to resolve these kinds of things.

I am sorry to say I find the new presentation a tad confusing: everything is black on white background including the side panels. The previous color scheme was pleasant and untiring. I am sure it’s work in progress… so thanks.

Getting rid of the first link then got rid of the second one in the preview, leaving only the 3rd link. Repasting the first link returned the second link, so it’s something with how the preview displays things. Now I’ll enter the message and we’ll see how many links show up.

See Tools, Options, Content, Default Font and change the font size number from 18 to 16.
For Firefox Help see: Options,
If the page could be changed to automatically scale that would be preferable.
I’m guessing that this may relate to an absolute rather than relative column width settings relative to margins.

Just to clarify the 3.0.1 Firefox column issue is what I was commenting about with text sizes. Different default text sizes make the columns fall to bottom. The web browser site showing 3.0.1 sort of working, must be using one of the 50% or so sizes that work.

Expanding on Gary’s note at #162 on what Firefox Default Font size works in showing the side bars properly at the top parallel to the center column
vs that which does not work (showing left side bar below center column, and right side bar below left bar):
9 works
10 works
11 works
12 does not work
13 does not work
14 works
15 works
16 works
17 does not work
18 does not work
20 works
22 does not work
24 works
26 works
28 does not work
30 works

(For how to change the Default Font see Re: #171)
Happy hunting. Right off I don’t see the correlation.

I can easily replicate the sidebar problem now by changing the default font size. Very interesting. This layout is 100% resizable! (In FF, use ctrl+ and ctrl- to change the size. As long as your default size is one of the “ok” sizes, it all works fine)

Perhaps BytesForAll will find it before I get a chance to dig in on it. As I recall, there are tricky IE/Opera workarounds using things like this:
html {font-size:100%;}
body {font-size:62.5%;}
table, select, input {font-size:100.01%;}
.button, submit {font-size:100.01%;}
form, .form {font-size:100.01%;}
input, textarea, select, file, option {font-size:100.01%;}

Woo hoo! It looks like after submitting, the comment looks as intended rather than as shown by the preview. So that narrows the problem a bit. I suspect that all the problem I had with “quotes” was due to the preview mis-parsing the text after any link was in the text at all.

My attention is not drawn to any area, but is diffused around the page. Perhaps too much black text on white background. I like some feature like borders or color background to distinguish areas such as the left and right columns from the current center of attention of the blog

I believe the issues with FF default font size causing “dropped” sidebars are fixed.
Opera and Safari MAY be better but I don’t use them and cannot tell.
IE “drop” issues are NOT fixed. Might require changing to a different underlying 3-column model.

On the top, the graphic underlay sppears to be of fixed width while the “Climate Audit” and “by Steve McIntire” vary. This looks ok with a narrow screen.
However when viewing full width on a 15.3″ or 17″ screen (FF at 16 point), the graphic is narrower than the text. This occurs on both FF and IE but slightly different.
e.g. on FF, the graphic starts halfway through the C in “Climate” and after the b in “by”, with an equal amount of white space on the right.
In IE it starts half way through Climate between m and a. (Might be different default font scaling in display settings. 100% vs 125%).

Not a big deal, but I think it would look better to have the graphic extend with the screen width all the way to the left/right borders under title and subtitle.

The banner now repeats smoothly. CA is now prepared for any amount of Anthropogenic Global Widening (of screens).

We’ll get a new banner treatment when someone steps up to make one. (Yes, contrasty can help… a nice translucent faded box could help, or better text treatment, or… any graphic design pro could make the whole thing great. We’re not graphic designers :) ]

“If you chose to continue, Windows XP SP3 and IE8 Beta 2 will become permanent,” Maliouta said. “You will still be able to upgrade to later IE8 builds as they become available, but you won’t be able to uninstall them.”

She recommended that users instead first uninstall Windows XP SP3, then uninstall IE8 Beta 1; they should then reinstall XP SP3 and follow that by installing IE8 Beta 2.

I really appreciate that the font sizes in the left and right sidebars are much more legible now.

The only suggestion that I can make is that it would be easier on old eyes if, in the alternating colors of the comments, you could substitute something less glaring for the background than bright white.

I have some questions/comments about CA database stats that I’d like to take up off-line. I’m assuming that you can see my email addr.

Strange … that link was to a story in the Telegraph about Mann releasing a new multi-proxy study in the Proceedings of the NAS, which purports to show, without tree-rings, that the past decade has been the hottest for 1,300 years in the northern hemisphere.
But the headline has disappeared from their front page, and that link doesn’t work. You can find the summary if you search on ‘Mann’, but it still doesn’t link to the story.
I’m confused …

MrPete, I tried Piefecta but it would drop a sidebar, too. Not as easily as the current layout technique but still. I did however develop a new layout technique the last few days that looks very good so far. Do you think you could live with a single table (wrapped in one div, and including one div) if it fixed all dropping issues and wrapped long strings, too? The code would be much cleaner and shorter, too, without hacks or Javascript, and still be valid XHTML. I will use this new layout for new fluid themes that require vertical layout borders and was wondering if it made sense for you to put it into a new version of “Atahualpa” as well (replacing the current Skidoo Redux layout).

One thing about the reply and post link. It seems to work perfectly except for posts by the origin of the post. Ex. the Gustov post by Ryanm. The reply and post doesn’t work for RyanM at least in Firefox.

With regard to the reply and paste link, my browser (IE7 on Vista) also seems to be having trouble pasting both the links which have an http link for the name of the poster and those which don’t. The former give me a javascript “error on page” message.

Just for fun I moved to Google Chrome. The Von Storch reply link still doesn’t work but everything else seems fine. The main posts are creeping a little into the right side bar but not bad. Chrome Beta is not Firefox friendly so my bookmarks are lost until I figure a fix. Loading seems faster but I haven’t really challenged the new browser. Off to load this sucker up!

I may be wrong but:
(a) I think that each initial post, unlike comments appended thereto, have a “date & time stamp” that includes only the date, not the time.
(b) I think that prior to the upgrade, the posts did include both date & time.

MrPete
Much appreciate all the work you put in to debug this theme.
May I now recommend saving this debugged theme with generic titles and making it available on CA to other users and posting it to WordPress Themes. That would be a big help to us who would like to start our own blogs with a premier debugged WordPress theme.

With this version more than 30 bugs have been fixed since the initial 3.0 release. New in this version 3.1.7:

* there were no next/previous comments links on the first page of comments in WP 2.7
* the “added backslashes” in post footers started appearing again in the last release
* the Archives page didn’t work right
* WP-Postratings is a new item than can be used in Post Info Items. It was planned long ago but didn’t work in the last few releases.
* a few more small bits and pieces

I tested this release with the following plugins, all turned on at once in WP 2.7: Business Directory, Commentluv, FeedBurner FeedSmith, Get Recent Comments, LMB^Box Comment Quicktags, Sociable, Subscribe To Comments, WP-EMail, WP-PageNavi, WP-PostRatings, WP-PostViews, WP-Print, WP-Syntax and WPG2

The two testtest items are superscript and subscript, respectively, both of which looked good in the preview pane, but failed when posted. Also note that the test item preceding those was the code tag, which also looked good in the preview pane, but failed when posted.
